HT4796 I completed a migration of my music and photos from a PC to my new mac. I have an error in music library that it can't find original files. Photos migrated fine. Where did the original files go?

I completed the migration of my music an dphotos files from a PC to my new imac. Both transferred initally and I even synced my ipad with the imac thereby transferring most of the music to my ipad. However now itunes says the music isn't available because it can't find the original music files. How can i find the original files? I am getting the same error on my pc too.

They aren't in your user Music folder? Have You tried Spotlight?

How can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

Yes. You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

My itunes PC no longer works. How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC. Apple do not provide that facility. It can be done with third party software though. There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

I need "synchronize" my music and videos from my ipod to my new laptop

I buy a new computer but I don't have my music there. Can I copy all music and videos from my iPod to the new laptop?

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

Hi Pez,
iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
Cheers,

Where did the .DOCX file go

I requested a photo of a jobsite from a client. They sent it in a DOCX format (a picture??) My Torch 9800 saved it to Media card, but I can't find it. I looked in Word and everywhere. No luck. Any ideas?

That's a silly way to send a photo, but i happens. A '.docx' file is a Microsoft World Office Open XML file format, in which your client must have pasted the picture into a MS Word file.
Obviously, I don't know where you saved the file on your Media Card, but if you go to your Media icon > menu key > Explore, you can search the entire media card for it, look in all folders, or look for a DocumentsToGo folder, also.
If all fails, can you just open the original email again, view and save again and you should be asked where to save the document.

HT2518 I USED THE MIGRATION ASSISTANT TO TRANSFER MY PHOTOS FROM A PC TO MY NEW MAC. HOWEVER, THE PHOTOS ARE NOT ORGANIZED AT ALL. DID I DO IT WRONG OR DO THEY JUST TRANSFER OVER IN A BIG BATCH INTO IPHOTO?

I used the migration assistant to transfer my photos from PC to mac. The photos were not organized at all. They were in the all files section in my finder. I just clicked and drug the pics file to iphoto and the are just in there in a big bunch. Was there a way I could have had them transferred over in there folders from PC?

Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

How to put current music and pictures from my Iphone to a new Ipad?

Hi this is my first question!
I am about to recieve a new iPad mini. I currently have an iPhone 4s and I want to transfer all my pictures and music over to the new device. I have just backed up my phone so that all latest files are on my PC. I have tried iCloud but this is out because my internet is too rubish.
So what should I do?
1. if i set the iPad up using the iTunes backup, everything will go on to the iPad that I have on the phone including the apps, which im not bothered about because I will be using less apps than before.
2. If I set it up as a new iPad, can I connect it to my PC and get my music and pictures/videos over to the device without everything else.
I know this sounds confusing but I don't know what to do, I asked in the Apple store and they didn't seem to know either,
cheers, David

You can restore the iPhone's backup onto the iPad, but that won't include the contents of the Music app nor the photos if they were originally synced from a computer (if they were taken with the phone they should be included) - restoring a backup onto a diferrent device also won't copy passwords (router, email, website) so you will need to re-enter them on the iPad. You can copy your iTunes purchases (including apps and music) from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) - if you do decide t backup/restore then you will need all of the iPhone's apps on your computer's iTunes as the backup only contains their content and settings, and not the apps themselves.
If you set it up as a new iPad then as long as the music and apps are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them over to it. iTunes will remember you sync preferences for each device, so you can sync more than one device to it without them affecting each other.
You can copy the photos and videos that you've take with the phone to your computer : photos to a computer.
And you can then sync them to the iPad : syncing photos.

Transfering music and apps from my old phone too my Mac

i bought my iphone last year its the 3g. i have an apple account which i use on both my Mac and iphone. but the problem is im getting a new iphone the 3Gs and i don't know how to get my apps and music thats on my phone to my Mac. my iphone is currently sinked to another computer.
but i want to sink my new phone to my Mac. how do i get all my apps and music from my old phone, that is from the same account, on my Mac and new phone?
Thanks
Jenna

Sync to the old computer, and to be safe select iTunes > File menu > Transfer Purchases From so all the content is in the old iTunes library. Then, move the iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer - you'll need something +other than the iPhone+ for that (external HDD, flash drive, burn DVDs, etc.). Authorize the new computer in iTunes and sign into your account. Also, move your iPhone backup to the new computer. It's located:
On a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
On Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
On Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Copy it to the correct location for the Mac. If the MobileSync/Backup folder does not exist, create it.
When you sync the new phone to the new computer, you will be prompted to set up that phone using the backup of the previous phone, and all your content and settings (except WiFi passwords for security reasons) will be transferred.

I updated FCPX to 10.9 after I had updated my os to 10.9.1. And the result is that FCPx can no longer read LaCie external hard drive where all the projects and events are stored. The program simply crashes every time I try to read anything from the LaCie.

Could anyone tell me what to do to solve the problem. I updated FCPX to 10.9 and the program keeps on crash every time I try to read files stored in my LaCie hard drive. And the program also keeps on crash every time I try to import files from my SDXC cards.

I have solved the problem. Once the update is done, you need to launch FCPX, and go to File, then "update all events and projects". It will solve the problem and everything works fine.
